S. J. TUCKER is an independent singer, songwriter, guitarist, and fire artist--a truly compelling performer whose strong guitar work, enormous voice and wealth of talent belie her small stature. Named Queen of the Bards by music industry professionals, S. J. is based in Memphis, TN, and tours the USA solo and as leader of the band, Skinny White Chick. Since her exit from accursed 'dayjobhood' in 2004, S. J. has released four full-length albums containing all-original material, two studio and two live, on nothing but her own steam, and has run rings around her own U. S. touring circuit more than once. This album, Haphazard, is the first full-length studio release in her catalogue!
More than a Renaissance woman, S. J. Tucker has spent her entire life evolving as a storyteller, composer, performer, and technician. Raised by an artistic family in the Mississippi Delta, Tucker began pursuing her dreams of performing her music at age sixteen and, after obtaining a degree in Theatre, moved to Memphis, TN in 2001. Now a bassist, percussionist, poet, and actress as well as a successful, full-time touring and writing performer, S. J. strives to blaze a trail and wastes little time in causing a stir with her inherent professionalism and ever-present ability to stop traffic the moment she begins to sing and play. All along, she makes her way a little bit differently than most big-name troubadours. Fully committed to her audience instead of her image, Tucker has no issue performing for Pagan Pride Day, Gay & Lesbian community centers, and Episcopal schools all in the same week, and she has.
The definition of dynamite in a small package, Tucker gathers fans from all age groups and from many demographics. S. J.'s dedication to her music and her reputation for giving everything she’s got in her live shows increases her loyal following each day, even though Tucker’s brand of bombast comes in a very well-contained and subtle form. Expect hardy musical cuisine, primal energy, and melodies that weave into the mind and heart like knot work: Tucker will make you think, laugh, dance, and be still by giving you songs to sink your teeth into. The gift of her mind-bending acoustic reality will haunt you sweetly through your day and enrich your life experience. S. J. Tucker, “the maddest hatter on the bardic path,” (St. Louis Social Circle) will stay in your memory in her guise as Skinny White Chick, for what you see is what you get--and what you hear is undeniably powerful.
